Year of the Horse with Danny Santos l Ep 35

Year of the horse, year of the snake, Saturn return, Aries

Welcome back Danny Santos of Danny Santos and the Crystal Visions, astrologer, ayahuasca shaman, spiritual life coach, and integrative healer. Danny is breaking down for us what it means to be in 2026: the year of the horse.

2025 was the year of the snake, we left it, so what did that mean and what does this year hold? And what’s to come after?!?!

It is a crazy time in the Universe, hes’, shes’, and theys’ - we may be entering another dimension soon - literally wtf. The world has felt many tads off its kilter lately and spiritually and astrologically, it makes sense why.

And what does all this mean for me specifically?! Am I finding love soon?!?! What does my Saturn return hold for me?! And apparently Hyrox & training for it is my Shamanic initiation - whatever that means.

Danny is here to tell us all what it all means. Buckle up, folks. 2026 going to be a fun ride, but a wild one!

Transcript

On a collective level, we’re supposed to see the collective focusing more on the self. Okay. Because there’s been all of this pressure that we’re all dissolving into each other—in social media—and like we’re all one big think tank.

But now it’s like: we, as individuals, are going to be evolving and finding our inner light and our inner godliness. And that individuation then brings the Age of Aquarius to fruition. Because if we are all God, then we can all come together.

And then the collective can also be God. And there’s no resentment of being part of a group and also losing your individuality. Like—you get to be individual and the group at the same time.

It’s like how if everyone was truly equal, no one would resent anyone else.

Exactly.

Well, there could be some power-hungry people.

Well, yes. There always can be. But yes.

Almost dying taught me how to live. Being struck by a car left me in a three-and-a-half-week coma with 15 broken bones and 16 surgeries to complete, including brain surgery. However, I woke up from that coma in an even greater place than I ever foresaw for myself. How? The universe will guide you out of the darkness and into the light if you allow it.

Often, spirituality comes off as too highbrow. I’m not about that.

Welcome to the podcast that talks and teaches about it through the lens of humor. Together, we’ll harness positive energy and use it to work with the universe—all while giggling the entire time.

Welcome to Gabriella Rebranded: Win Most, Lose Some.

Well, the listeners may remember you if they were listening last season: Danny Santos—astrologer, ayahuasca shaman, healer, Reiki healer… just all the things.

Your episode was actually supposed to come out late in the first season because we recorded it late, but then at my launch party you were such a hit that it came out then. So that’s what it was.

And today, Danny so kindly reached out to me to do a little talking about the Year of the Horse, the Year of the Snake…

Yes. All that stuff.

Aries. Saturn return. You are in the Saturn return officially—like it’s actually happening right now.

It started? It’s officially started?

Yes, yes.

So I thought it would be a good time to reach out to you because we can talk about what’s going on with the Year of the Horse, what it means to exit the snake, the Saturn return stuff… and then there’s like the 2027 prophecy that’s coming from multiple cultures.

So this is truly a transition year.

Okay.

Because next year, it’s like—the collective, we’re shifting. Supposedly we’re going from the third dimension to the fifth dimension.

Oh, wow.

Yeah. So we’ve got to talk about it all.

Okay, yes. There’s a lot to talk about.

Okay, but first—maybe you could just fill me in. What’s going on as you’re noticing this shift into your Saturn return—Saturn in Aries? How have you been since we last spoke?

I’ve been good. Thank you.

I’ve definitely noticed a shift in like… I saw things on TikTok and stuff about how I’m in my villain era—and I definitely… I definitely like a healthy “living for yourself.”

And I definitely… this year, going through the Year of the Snake—and it started with the Year of the Horse—there was definitely a gradual dropping of my people-pleasing.

Yes.

I’m definitely getting a lot better at self-prioritizing.

Amen.

I’m definitely getting better at cutting people off and not still desperately trying to hold on.

Yes.

And just accepting it for what it is. And just being like… really, I’m getting better at being okay with people being upset about me if I know that what I did was correct.

Amen.

Which is a big thing.

And if you remember when we did your reading on the air last time: your past life sign is Pisces.

Yes.

So you’ve mastered being a loving person. You can’t be any more loving, any more transcendent, or forgiving, or apologizing. Like—you can’t be any more “love” and make progress as a soul.

Yeah.

But you always have the tool in your toolkit to love.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. It’s not like it gets lost.

But your Virgo North Node means that you’re here to develop stronger boundaries. To say no. To be more picky, more particular.

Like, you have a right in this lifetime to say, “Actually, that wasn’t done right.” And then to bring it up—or to cut someone off when they’re mistreating you. Like, these are telltale signs.

Yeah. I’m definitely getting better at the boundary thing.

And I’ve had a couple moments where I really stood up for myself. And people have kind of been like… not because what I’m saying is wrong, but because they don’t expect that from me. They’re not used to it.

They’re not used to the Gabriella who—before my accident, yes—but since my accident, they’re not used to the Gabriella that stands up for herself.

And I’ve been like, “Actually, no. And I’m not apologizing for that thing, because I did nothing wrong.”

Well—and the accident is a karmic contract to give you a reason to be more picky.

Yeah.

When you’re having difficulty feeling as painless in your body—or if you’re recovering, or recuperating, or however you are inside your own body—that gives you more pressure internally to say, “Not everything is allowed in.”

Like, you’re actually supposed to become more comfortable, but that comfort is based on how willing you are to set boundaries.

Yeah. Which I’m getting better at.

Yes. But this is how astrology shows us the magic. Like, that’s your soul contract. You’re here to learn to become more like the maiden—the virgin.

Yeah.

And I think the Year of the Horse is a lot with that.

I also—ooh, this is also the big thing that’s going on in my life right now: I officially found out—like, I officially signed up—that I’m doing a HYROX.

What is HYROX?

It’s a race all over the world. It started in Europe, but it’s basically: you run a kilometer, strength exercise. You run a kilometer, strength exercise. Oh my God.

It’s apparently harder than a marathon. You are an Aries. You went through a whole accident. Apparently it’s harder than a marathon—don’t come for me in the comments if that’s not true. That’s just what I’ve heard.

And I was… I think someone floated the idea to me—actually, a few people did. Like, it kept coming up. And you know when something keeps coming up, you’re like…

I think the universe—

Are you supposed to say yes?

So I was like, “No. I don’t like running. No. I don’t have the time.”

And then I was like, “Okay—let me actually look at what this is.”

And I looked into it and I was like, “Oh. I could totally do this.”

And I reached out to a friend who is a crazy fitness person—has a 14-pack, like, has since he was probably out of the womb. And he did HYROX. He lives in Santa Monica, and he did HYROX.

And I was like, “Hey—can I ask you questions about this thing?”

And he was like, “Come to my class.”

This class is insane. Oh my God.

And my personality has become… you know when people train for marathons and they find a way to bring every conversation back to that they’re in training for a marathon?

Yes.

And I was like, “Yeah, we get it. We know you’re training for a marathon.”

I’ve become that… but for HYROX. I’ve become that, but for HYROX.

Because every— I can’t miss a workout. It’s not optional. Like, I can’t miss a workout. I can’t drink on my Saturday nights. I can’t go out. I need to make sure I’m getting enough sleep.

Very Virgo-y too.

My meals are very Virgo.

Yes. Details. That’s what you need to master.

Yes.

So.

But through the lens of Aries.

Yeah.

Which is like working out, fitness.

Fitness. Okay, so let’s talk a little bit about what this Saturn in Aries—and your Saturn return—is actually about.

So Saturn is— in astrology—its symbol is literally like a crucifix and a scythe put together.

So the crucifix is like: we’re going to perform an exorcism on something. And that something is your karma. That’s what Saturn is. It’s like “the body of Christ compels you,” but it’s getting your karma off of you.

And then the scythe is like: now let’s cut it off and keep it off.

Okay.

So the lowest vibration of Aries is going to be shame or violence.

Okay.

The highest vibration is self-actualization and authenticity.

So your destiny with this Saturn return is to stop feeling ashamed for being yourself and to know that you’re allowed to authentically express your anger. You’re allowed to be upset. You’re allowed to not have a good day all the time. You’re allowed to be picky and set boundaries.

It goes really well with your Virgo North Node.

Okay.

But it’s like: be authentic in your expression, so you don’t sugarcoat anything. You don’t have to be mean. Authenticity just means you have to tell the truth.

Yeah. Yeah.

So let’s talk about the idea of shame being the master teacher of Aries—and how that’s the thing that’s being exorcised off of you.

Okay.

I mean, shame… yeah. Shame, shame.

You don’t have to bring up the shame specifically, but—

I think I definitely am.

My parents have always said to me that since I was a little kid, when I’m annoyed about something, I’m always like, “But that’s so embarrassing.”

And I’ve always been so concerned with what others find embarrassing. And I sort of have been a little concerned with how I appear to the outside world at the time.

And I definitely am like, “Oh my God, that’s so embarrassing.”

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And so my question to you is: how has the accident challenged this belief?

It made it, at first, a lot stronger—because I was like, everything about me is embarrassing. Like, everything. Like—we need to fix everything.

And now it’s kind of… I think this might have to do with entering my Saturn return.

I’ve noticed in the last six months—maybe even less—I’ve just been so like, “I don’t care.”

Authentic.

Authenticity.

Just like: do you know what I lived through? Do you know what it took for me to get here?

And I’m just like…

So small, but I’m becoming so much better at not answering everyone’s texts right away. Not giving everyone a conversation if I don’t think they deserve one. Like, I’m becoming a lot better about that.

But only in the last few months.

And that’s where we’re seeing Aries’ vibration coming through.

Now that we have Saturn and Neptune… Neptune takes 14 years to move through one sign. So we just had 14 years of Pisces—now it’s 14 years of Aries.

So as a collective, with Saturn and Neptune both in Aries, we’re going to see a lot more authenticity in the world. We’re going to see breakups. We’re going to see people coming out with their sexuality. We’re going to see more anger—more natural expression.

You know?

So it’s your time. Like, you’re meant to rise.

I’m here for the breakups. Let’s throw a glass of wine.

Period.

But we think each sign of the zodiac has what I’ve developed—this concept of the GIQ.

Okay.

This is the God in question—or the God intelligence.

Okay.

Aries teaches us that we are God. Aries says, “I am God.”

So when I define God, it’s like: what’s important? Where’s the energy meant to go? Where could it be coming from? Who’s wearing the crown—or who’s holding the talking stick?

Yeah.

So your Saturn in Aries is you learning that you are God because you’ve mastered loving everybody else. Your Pisces South Node—you have the power of love running through your veins.

Your destiny in this lifetime is to say, “I am just as important as everybody else,” and to put yourself first.

Wow. That’s a beautiful destiny.

Yes.

I’m like, my destiny is to remember that I am God? That’s great.

Yes. Yes. That’s great.

Aries placements with a Saturn there too.

And correct me if I’m wrong, but I think you also have Mercury—the ruler of your North Node—here.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

So that means you’re reviewing—because it’s a Mercury retrograde in your chart—what your boundaries are. That’s what Mercury is.

And then Aries being the sign of the self…

Yeah.

So having stricter boundaries, being more picky, more detail-oriented, and then protecting yourself—preserving yourself.

Okay. This makes sense.

Yeah, well, talk to me about it.

Wow. I think I’m going to let this go on the podcast, but we’ll see if I’ll let this go on.

You can always edit this out. We can always edit it out.

So I decided that… I was dating two guys at the start of this, and he tried to crawl back in.

And I quickly put that… I was like, “No.” You so violated. Like, no. The boundaries have been crossed. It doesn’t matter.

But that’s unprecedented for your soul to do that.

What?

Because you have the Pisces South Node—you would have let it slide.

Okay.

This is the first time that your soul is making that level of self-preserving choice.

Okay. Amazing.

Yeah. So I really want to reinforce that that’s a behavior that’s new to you in this lifetime.

Okay.

It’s amazing. But that’s, like I said, completely brand new for your soul. You don’t have that natural instinct. You incarnated in this lifetime to learn how to do this.

Oh my God. I learned that. That’s amazing.

Yes. I’m proud of myself.

Yes, you should be. And this means that every time you do it going forward, it’s going to be easier.

Okay. Yeah.

Okay. And then the second boy…

He’s lovely. He’s a lovely person. But I’ve just realized there are a lot of things—in terms of what we both want for our lives and where we both are right now in our lives—that it doesn’t make sense.

And then I had a moment just this weekend where I was like, “What exactly is it do I like about him?” And it was like… that he treats me good.

I was like… there are all these things in our life compatibilities that don’t work. I don’t see us growing together in a successful way at all.

Yeah—I can just end it with someone because I’m allowed to do that. I can just end it with someone because… he doesn’t need to hurt me for me to end it.

Okay. And that’s you living in the Virgo side of the destiny, because Virgo is about discernment.

People don’t need to do big things for you to break up with them or set boundaries. It can actually come down to the littlest details—because the details are God in a Virgo’s eyes.

Okay.

So you’re here to learn that you’re God and the details are God.

I’m God and the details are God. We’re both God.

And that’s what—when I say God—that’s what’s important. Or who’s wearing the crown. Or what helps you make decisions.

Yeah.

I think because I’ve been hurt in the past so much—by guys, friends—I want there to be the big grand moment of the big boundary being crossed, where I’m like, “And exhibit A: this is why I’m drawing my line in the sand.”

And it’s learning that it doesn’t always need to be that.

You could just… “I’m not vibing with this.”

You know you’ve made it when you go on the first date and it was a great first date, but there was one little thing you didn’t love, and you’re like, “Hey, I really enjoyed the date, but you’re just not what I’m looking for.”

That’s being Virgo. The pickiness. The detail-orientedness.

Like: didn’t like his shoes.

I mean, I do know a Virgo that did that once.

That’s honestly how I need to start moving.

That’s how I need to start moving.

Yeah.

Yes.

Okay. So I’m doing what I’m supposed to do.

Yes.

But on a collective level, we’re supposed to see the collective focusing more on the self.

Okay. Because there’s been all of this pressure that we’re all dissolving into each other—in social media—and like we’re all one big think tank.

But now it’s like: we, as individuals, are going to be evolving and finding our inner light and our inner godliness. And that individuation then brings the Age of Aquarius to fruition. Because if we are all God, then we can all come together.

Okay. You see what I’m saying?

Yeah—if we’re all God, then we can all come together.

And then the collective can also be God. And there’s no resentment of being part of a group and also losing your individuality. Like, you get to be individual and the group at the same time.

It’s like how if everyone was truly equal, no one would resent anyone else.

Exactly.

Well, there could be some power-hungry people.

Well, yes. There always can be. But yes.

So that’s the biggest way that we’re going to see a shift happening—in terms of Saturn in Aries—towards the collective.

Okay.

And that’s what we’re seeing in your birth chart. Let me just reference my notes here.

As we’re getting into the Year of the Horse, it’s very similar to Sagittarius energy. So your rising sign—we think about the centaur and the horse. They’re kind of similar creatures, right?

So it’s a lot about empathy, psychic ability, spirituality—not what’s being said with your words, but what’s being felt with your aura.

I’m good with that. Sag rising? Yeah, I’m good with that. I really pick up on people’s… my intuition always knows.

Yeah, yeah. Well, you’re like a horse. You can feel the air. You can feel the energy in the air.

And with that energy going up, we’re leaving the Year of the Snake. That was a year of splits, divorces, breakups, animosity, boundary setting, money losses—divorce. Like, it’s a really difficult year to go through.

The Year of the Horse—

Or you mean the Year of the Snake.

Yes. Excuse me. The Year of the Snake. Thank you.

One way that we’re seeing this play out is like the Epstein files being unveiled. Like, that’s a collective way that the Year of the Snake is revealing something.

And as above, so below: people are having these kinds of revelations in their individual lives—even though they still do be hiding a lot.

Yes. I mean…

Can we get the unredacted? Literally. They’re like, “Oh yeah, now we released the files.” Uh-huh. There’s still like half the files aren’t even out. Half the files aren’t even out. There’s so much of it that’s redacted.

Believe me—I’m deep on that side of TikTok.

Okay, me too. I’ve been like spooking myself trying to get to sleep.

Oh no—literally, there was one night I was going to sleep, and I had just been listening to a Jeffrey Epstein podcast while I was taking a bath. And I was like… I think I’m a little too scared.

Like, I had to sleep with wind chimes playing. Literally.

I’m like, okay—and now, on my TV, I do Spotify and I put on sleep sounds. It’s the only way I can sleep.

There you go.

But as we’re in Mercury retrograde too, it’s like all of this stuff from the past of our entire lifetimes is coming forward that we didn’t know.

I mean, I grew up during the age of Limited Too and Abercrombie, you know? So all of that stuff being backed by Les Wexner, who…

So heartbreaking.

Yes, yes. I loved Justice. I loved it all. I loved Justice.

You know, but the idea of the Year of the Snake is like… all of that came out during that year.

So if we look at now the Year of the Horse—like, we’re having trials happening. Things are moving. Arrests are being made.

Like Prince Harry, I think it was—

Yeah. I forget which.

Andrew.

Prince Andrew. Thank you. I’m not the best with names. Prince Harry is the one that left the royal family with Meghan Markle.

Yes. Love you, Meghan. Good job.

But yeah—we’re seeing, like, just as swiftly as society is moving, our lives are going to be moving as well. So prepare yourself, because what was it? Not the fitness thing that you’re getting…

HYROX.

HYROX? Like, that’s going to be a good example of the Year of the Horse. Like—you’re being flung forward.

I kind of like that. I feel like I’m ready for that.

Well, you know—a big word that was buzzing around in my head at the end of the year, and then starting this year, was the word precipice. And I don’t know why—that word just kept circling around in my head.

And it was like I felt like I was on the precipice of… I don’t know.

And I’ve been saying to my mom—which I think so checks out with Saturn return—you can call up Laura right now—I’ve been saying: “I’m ready for the next chapter. I’m ready for the next chapter. I’m ready for the next phase.”

And I don’t quite know what exactly that is. But I’m like, okay—I’m done with this. Like, whatever this “20s and child” thing—like, I’m done. I’m ready for the next big part of adult life.

Yeah. So Year of the Horse—I’m happy about that.

Well, and when we think about the Virgo side of your destiny—as you’re getting ready for HYROX…

Yes. Yes.

There’s this idea in Virgo: the 1% change makes the 50% difference.

Okay.

So things like going to bed 20 minutes earlier before a performance day—that’s going to be something you need to do. Or eating the right breakfast. Or really getting into the details—like getting a new pair of shoes a month before, so they’re slightly worn in.

These are the little things you’re going to be paying attention to.

And again: what’s mirroring in your personal life and your dating life will also show up in this event of doing HYROX. Like it’s almost like a shamanic initiation.

I like that. Yeah—I like that.

Well, because for Aries, the shamanic initiations are things like giving birth, breathwork classes. We can also see tournaments or Olympics.

I’m going to reach out to my instructor—who, you know, most workout people are so not into this stuff—and be like, “Did you know HYROX is a shamanic initiation for me?”

She’s going to be like, “What?”

Well, anytime someone has a prominent Aries placement, tournament or Olympics or anything physical like this—it’s something you’re going to be looking forward to regularly.

Like: to train for something is a shamanic initiation.

All right.

So you have to treat this as you reaching towards self-actualization, because what’s the purpose of doing it other than to step into your own godliness as an Aries?

Okay. Do you feel me?

Yeah. I’m en route.

Amen—ru. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

So that’s—

Oh, go ahead.

I was going to say—I don’t know if this checks out with my astrology, but I’m definitely someone who’s a little all-or-nothing. So it’s like: I’m doing this. It’s like…

When I decided to do this, I stopped smoking weed. My diet was already pretty good, but it’s a lot better now. I completely shifted my diet.

I don’t skip workouts. I need to work out six days a week. I do not miss them.

Now on my Saturday nights—because I have class early in the morning—I do not go out on Saturday nights. And even if I go out on Friday nights, I’m not staying out that late because I need to make sure my sleep schedule is basic.

Okay.

Definitely—yeah.

It’s literally the Virgo checklist, but through an Aries lens.

Okay. Because what is it that you’re being so detail-oriented about? It’s training and athleticism.

And Aries is about courage, and going for it, and having the joie de vivre—the breath—to be who you are.

Yeah. I think it’s going to be really cool for brains when I do this.

Yeah, yeah. So you should be very proud of yourself.

Thank you.

As you know—or maybe you don’t—we’re in eclipse season right now.

I think I knew that. I know there’s a lot of eclipses going on, and I think I just kind of was like… there’s so much going on.

Well, the eclipse season that we’re going through right now is in the zodiac sign of Aquarius. It’s the first eclipse over the next 18 months where we’re going to see Aquarius being activated in the collective.

So what this does is it’s more about the group than the individual—but Saturn is challenging that because it’s about the individual versus the group.

So we’ve got friction between “Who am I?” and “Who am I in the group?”

Okay.

And how this shows up in the collective is Aquarius is the sign of dissolving the ego. So the point is: everything that does not belong inside of ourselves is going to be stripped away.

So we as individuals—we are truly going to see the breakups and the bad habits being forced out of somebody. And whatever corrective process—Saturn is very corrective—that somebody needs to experience in order to let something go… it’s going to happen.

My God. There’s a lot of people that I’m like, “This is your time.”

Well, for me personally, I was experiencing a lot of… I grew up in the Catholic church.

Yes.

And I had a lot of religious trauma. So a lot of that has been resurfacing.

There would be days I would wake up and hear this word sacerdote in Spanish. And I was like, “What is that?”

So I looked it up and it meant “priest.” And I was like, okay.

And I kept having this feeling that the universe wanted me to become a priest, and kept putting that pressure on me. And I realized: that’s not the path that I want.

Yeah.

And the Catholic programming that I grew up with doesn’t resonate anymore.

Yeah.

So it’s not that I’m getting rid of it—but Aquarius dissolves something so that you can have it to the right extent, so that it doesn’t overtake your life.

Okay. Does that make sense?

So yes. Using you and that story as an example—kind of how you are a shaman in those ways—it’s your version.

Yes. Yes.

But if Aquarius is taken too far—dissolving the ego—and I’m like, “All right, I’m going to give up astrology and shamanism and give up being gay and all this stuff, and now I’m a priest…”

No. That wouldn’t work either.

That’s the warning of the next 18 months: people can take it too far.

That’s why Saturn in Aries—don’t lose yourself in the process of being cleansed of the ego.

I like “don’t lose yourself in the process of being cleansed of the ego.” That’s good.

Because if you go too far, then yeah—we all will just be the same thing, or we’re all going to reflect systems like the Catholic church to an extreme extent.

Oppression.

Yeah. Oppression. Patriarchy. Racism. Homophobia. This doesn’t make any of us happy.

Exactly.

A big message I want to get out is: people need to be themselves.

You need to be your most athletic version of yourself. Or for me—my most gay astrologer version of myself. Or someone like Nadege—your most sex-scholar version. Whatever it is.

Your most loud version of yourself.

Yes. Yes.

While still being able to fit in as part of the crowd.

Okay.

Because Earth is a school, and we incarnate here to learn lessons, and the soul is truly eternal.

So if we come here and we lose who we are—that’s a disservice. Because you are the most precious gift you will ever receive in your life.

Stop it.

Stop it.

You know—it’s an important message I want to get out there.

Well, good. And then I’m glad—yeah—let’s scream it out there. I’m proud to be me.

No, but it’s like… yeah—if you lose yourself…

I think a lot of times people feel like accountability is important and self-awareness is important, and we have to course-correct toxic habits, of course.

But overcorrecting and losing yourself with this need to overcorrect—lowering yourself, dimming your light to please everyone else—like, no.

Self-awareness is important and accountability is important. But don’t overcorrect.

Yeah, because the overcorrection is where we’re going to get the shadows coming up.

And with Aquarius, the lowest vibration of Aquarius is nothingness—or the void.

So if you’re in the Aquarius eclipse season and you’re completely losing your identity, or you’re in the nothingness of the void—maybe there’s a mental health issue, or you lost somebody you loved—you’re being schooled by the teacher.

The true medicine of Aquarius is freedom and enlightenment. Humanitarianism. For us, as a collective, to be with each other.

You know?

Yeah.

And then Aries—that Saturn in Aries—Saturn has the ring around it. So it’s like: that’s what we have to protect.

Okay.

Protecting ourselves while still being part of the group.

Oh—I didn’t think… that’s crazy.

But those rings are also restricting something too.

Oh yeah. It’s going to be hard on you while protecting you.

It’s hard on you while protecting you.

Okay. All right.

And how long does this go on for?

Saturn usually takes about two and a half, three years through one sign.

Okay.

Neptune will be moving through Aries for 14 years.

Okay. So the first three years, we’re going to have a double influence with Saturn and Neptune there. But for 14 years, we have this dissolving—or this healing.

That’s what Neptune is at its highest expression: healing and transcendence of the individual.

So Neptune in Aries is like a great thing.

Well, Neptune anywhere can be really, really good or really, really bad, because it’s always going to dissolve something.

So we can either be dissolved by our shame—or we can dissolve the shame and self-actualize.

So things like religion might pop back up, and the oppressiveness of religion or the oppressiveness of the patriarchy—that’s stuff we have to be mindful of as it’s coming our way.

You have to maintain your sovereignty—like being yourself.

Okay. Could be a big one.

Yes. But also—you being an Aries—you’re going to be one of the role models of this.

Okay.

So you are here over the next three and 14 years to show people: wow, she went through an accident and she’s running marathons and she’s doing this. Maybe you’ll have children during this period.

And then it’s like, oh—the Year of the Horse hits. And then suddenly this year, like I said, it’s a grand transition year, because next year is like the prophecy year—which we’ll go over in my notes.

But there’s going to be tremendous movement forward. People are making progress. Promotions are happening. Relationships are starting. You know—it’s a joyful energy.

Okay.

And then the eclipse is happening. So with Jupiter going through Leo, and then the eclipse going through Aquarius and Leo, we’re going to be seeing more of the ego coming out of the collective—and dissolving the negative side of that ego.

Okay.

It’s a strange cycle, but…

But I’m excited for it.

Yes, yes.

When am I falling in love?

Oh—let me look at your chart.

Am I allowed to ask that?

Yeah, of course you are. Let’s take a look.

So when we look at your chart, you have your Venus in…

Pisces.

Yes.

And your seventh house is in Gemini.

You know what? Uranus is going to be entering Gemini on April 25th. So you have an eight-year window of possibly having a really intense progression in your love life.

Okay. Developing more romantic love, relationships, dating more.

That’s exciting.

Yeah. You’re going to be quite popular.

Okay.

Now remember: with Saturn in Aries, the number one focus is on you. So if you’re with somebody else, they need to be worshiping you. They need to be putting you first.

Because if somebody’s not respecting you—your boundaries and your standards—you’re going to kick them to the curb.

Okay. Does that make sense?

I feel more powerful.

Yeah.

I feel like, oh—I’m supposed to do this.

Okay. It’s not me being a bitch. It’s what I’m supposed to do.

Well, being a bitch—quote-unquote—that is a Virgo way of being.

Yeah.

To be picky.

Yeah.

You know? Being willing to be like: that’s not good enough. I don’t like that. I prefer if you did X, Y, and Z.

Ask any Virgo who’s in their Virgo authenticity—they have no problem.

My parents are both Virgos. I was raised with this energy. I was raised with this energy. I’m not afraid of it.

You know—I like it when people are direct, because there’s no room for error. There’s no room for error if you’re direct.

I like direct too.

Yeah. I like direct too. It makes it easier.

So much easier.

But we do see that for you.

I think the biggest time, in terms of romantic love happening for you—like I said—April 25th, that eight-year window.

But then this eclipse cycle is also going through… there’s going to be a Pisces eclipse which is going over your Venus on August 28th.

Okay.

So if you are dating actively, and then somebody really feels right at that time—that’s a good time for you.

Okay.

So this year, I actually want to say it’s very favorable for you for romantic love, dating, and a relationship.

Okay.

Okay. Interesting, right?

Because it’s time for the real one.

It’s time for the real one.

But they better make you goddess.

They better make me goddess.

Okay. So remember: they better make me goddess because that is the real one. The real one is the one that makes me goddess.

Exactly. Exactly.

And have you ever dated a Gemini?

I don’t think so.

There’s a possibility that could be a good match for you.

Okay.

I do love Leo energy for you as well, because it’s very complementary with your Aries.

A Libra could be really nice too.

A Libra?

Yeah. Because first of all, they’re beautiful.

Yeah.

But second of all, they’re helpers.

They’re helpers. They are. Libras want to assist other people.

Okay.

Like, if Aries is the sign of the self—saying the self is God—Libra says our relationships are God.

Oh—that’s so wholesome.

It is. That’s so wholesome.

So I would actually recommend maybe finding a Libra.

A Libra?

Or somebody with some Libra placements in that chart. Maybe a Leo with some Libra placements. That could be very attractive.

And then Pisces placements—maybe—as long as they’re loving and romantic and treating you well, but their standard needs to be high enough.

Yeah… I feel like I’ve… dealt with and dated a few Pisces in the past.

Dealt with. That should make it sound very clear to you.

As a Pisces, all my ex-boyfriends, I think, can just agree that we’re not the most organized. People with Pisces placements, I’ll say.

And I always say it’s probably my Pisces Venus—it’s what’s drawn to the Pisces. It never quite ends up working out.

Because you’re going to be turned off by the way that a Pisces can neglect things.

Yes.

Or how they’re not organized enough.

Okay. Because you’re actively letting go of that in this lifetime.

Okay. Does that make sense?

Yeah.

Libra—I always have crushes on Libras. Always.

I like a Libra for you.

Yeah. And you have Black Moon Lilith in Libra, which is like…

Sexuality. You know—I remember you told me that last time, and I was like… so that’s like a very delicious aspect too.

But I would 10 out of 10 recommend that for you.

And then maybe—does that mean I have good sex with Libras?

Yes.

Okay. Not just good—like bomb.

I have fantastic sex with Libras. Sorry, Dad. I have fantastic sex with Libras.

Well, because Black Moon Lilith represents the part of ourselves—whether you’re a man or a woman—it’s our feminine, divine, defiant sexual energy.

Okay.

It’s the part of us that’s naughty and also interested in power.

So when we have it in Libra, there’s a part of you that really enjoys somebody else making you priority. Like, to be on the receiving end is very Libra.

Yes.

So whereas you’re an Aries in your waking life—you are pretty dominant. You have to be a soldier and a warrior and to fight.

So in your sexual and romantic life, you need to be passive and to receive.

So I should tell all my future lovers that I am a sub. It’s actually written in the stars.

Yes—but it’s like: sub in the sheets, dom in life.

Which is me.

Dom in fucking life, yo. Let me hide.

But also—Libra rules your career sign too. So you might really enjoy somebody that you work with… falling in love, working with your future partner, having a business with your future partner.

And of course, with Lilith here, it’s always like where the kink is. So for like… doing it at the office.

That could be something.

Right here in my bedroom.

There you go.

Or you find yourself a Libra—they love law and stuff. So if you end up marrying a lawyer, that could be very nice for you.

Okay.

All right.

You know—then maybe they take you to the office time and time again.

You know—I’d take a lawyer.

But you would never win an argument against them. Every time you had an argument, they would win.

Oh my gosh.

Because Aries aren’t afraid to fight. Libras aren’t afraid to retaliate.

Believe me—I have had words with a Libra lawyer.

Really? Have you dated a Libra?

No. No. No.

I think it’s a good match for you. It’s going to give you something that you don’t naturally do on your own.

Okay. You know?

Yeah.

Okay. Discernment is so important in love in this lifetime. That’s a major part of the lesson.

So you have to make sure you choose the right one.

Okay.

Choose the right one. Choose the right one. Choose the right Libra.

Yes.

Now I’m also going to recommend—with also Leo placements—

Oh. Oh, no, that’s what you—

No, I don’t know anyone.

Yes, yes. With a Leo with a Libra and maybe a Scorpio or a Cancer placement to go with your moon.

Okay.

I like that.

Because you’re an emotional person.

I am.

But people will never know the extent to which you feel because it’s a Scorpio moon.

Exactly.

And you’re Sag rising, so it’s smiles, joy, excitement. They don’t know what I’m really feeling.

Behind closed doors, it’s really intense. Everything hits hard. This Scorpio moon—everything hits.

Recently, someone was telling me that one of the things they like about me—and I’ve gotten this from people before, not to brag—is they felt like spending time with me was like therapy.

And they were like, “I can open up to you. I don’t know why, but I can open up to you in a way that I don’t open up to people, even though I’ve known you for so much shorter.”

And literally talking with you is like… it’s like therapy for me.

And I was like, “It’s because I’m a Scorpio moon.”

And this was like the fourth time I’d said that over the course of us hanging out. And he was like, “It’s not because you’re a Scorpio moon.”

And I was like, “Yes it is.”

He was like, “It’s because you’re you.”

And I was like… but see, I am me. One of the things that makes me me is my Scorpio moon. It’s because I’m a Scorpio moon.

Well, and you have your Chiron on top of the moon as well. So Chiron represents our deepest wound—where we can also heal ourselves and others.

Okay.

So the moon represents our feelings. So for you, people won’t know it because it’s the Scorpio moon and then it’s Chiron in Scorpio.

Your feelings are so guarded and so private that only when people get really, really, really close to you will they understand the extent to which you feel things.

Yeah.

Once people get that close, you will automatically heal them. Like, just by being in your close proximity, it will literally heal other people.

And your instinct is to remove trauma from other people without even knowing that you’re doing it.

Wow. That’s why…

This podcast.

Yeah.

Oh my God. Yes.

I was just looking at the poster for it—like, is that a body bag on the…?

Yeah.

Okay.

I was like, this girl went off.

Oh yeah—I went off. That’s me. You had the ten of swords on there.

Oh yeah. I went off. Me and my little body bag.

Yeah. I still have that somewhere in this house.

And then there was like… I don’t know if that was makeup blood—blood right here. I put on fake blood right here. And then while I was doing it, some dripped off and like ran right here on my boob.

Like—oh my God. And I was gonna…

And then the photographer was like, “No, no, no. This looks…” And he was like, “This is the cover of the podcast. It’s spiritual, and it’s funny, and it’s beautiful—but it’s almost a little sensual.”

You’re a sexy woman.

Oh yes.

You’re also like… the caterpillar emerging from the chrysalis.

Yeah.

There’s a little bit of that. Like, the way your hands are, and there’s a look of hope in your eyes too.

Yeah. I was really analyzing this.

Thank you. I appreciate that. It’s a great picture, right?

It is. It is.

So as you’re using this trauma-healing skill, how do you feel like it is relevant to being a podcaster?

I honestly… how I feel like it’s relevant is: I mean, that’s the reason why I’m doing this.

And I think that all acts of service will be supported by the universe. I’ve said that a million and fourteen times.

And this podcast is an act of service for other people as well as myself, because doing something for other people is doing something for you.

But my goal as a podcaster—I’m very mission-driven. I’m not algorithm-driven.

Which is a big problem with how influencers and content creators are perceived.

Like—are you mission-driven, or are you algorithm-driven?

And I’m mission-driven.

I’ve never heard this before.

Yeah, yeah.

And I think what really keeps me grounded as a podcaster and content creator is that it all comes back to the mission.

And while some of the influencer-type things can get an eye roll—the difference is, when it’s a mission, it’s not just: I want people to pay attention to me because I’m funny or I’m pretty.

And listen—if that gives you joy, have at it. Go do it. Go live your truth. And it can make money. There are a lot of reasons why it’s attractive.

Yeah. Like, make money. Live your truth. Go do it.

But I think what helps me as a podcaster is: I don’t think this podcast is ever going to get stale.

Because I don’t think it’s ever going to stop living. I don’t think it’s ever going to stop being real.

It doesn’t live in a vacuum. It lives as the world lives because… life is traumatizing.

It certainly is.

With the Scorpio moon, with Chiron in Scorpio—to reveal your feelings is one of the hardest things for you to do.

When you reveal your feelings, it heals the people around you.

So by talking about what’s going on on your podcast, other people will hear—and that will transform them.

Yeah.

So it’s a big part. It’s painful because you carry a much more difficult emotional burden than most people will ever know.

But by even exposing 10% of what you’re feeling on the podcast or elsewhere, it profoundly heals the people around you.

Yeah.

And it definitely has shown a little bit of that in that I talk about things on this podcast—I’m very open, very colloquial, and I make a joke of a lot of things, but a lot of what I talk about is really heavy stuff.

And it’s like: y’all don’t know what that mental torture was like for me.

Yeah. I mean—just to be in the kind of accident that you were in… that’s also kind of Scorpio in a way. Like, you almost died.

You know?

So it’s Sag rising and Scorpio.

The Sag rising part is like: well, if I can make it through that, I can do anything.

Which is truly how I feel with a lot of things.

Yeah.

But I think—again—I really want to drive this point home: when you reveal your feelings, it heals everyone—yourself included.

Okay.

All right.

Yeah.

Okay. I’ll be better. Fine.

Well, I think you’re doing pretty fabulously.

The next thing I want to talk about is this idea of 2027 and being like: supposedly 2026 is the year of transition.

Okay. And we’re like riding the back of the fire horse, and it’s the year of forward motion and big shifts and transformation—and it’s good for business, and it’s good for public affairs and relationships.

A lot of new age, metaphysical—even channelers—are talking about 2027. So I compiled a little list of things and I just… wanted to talk about it.

No, please do. I love this stuff. Because we’re getting ready to go into the fifth dimension. I’m so excited about that.

Okay. So the first one is in human design. Are you familiar with human design?

Yes.

Okay. So there’s what’s called the solar plexus mutation, or the Sleeping Phoenix.

Okay.

And the human design practitioners that I was looking into are teaching that 2027 marks the end of the global cycle called the Cross of Planning, and the start of a new era: the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix.

So it’s described as a shift in the collective consciousness where individuality, inner authority, and emotional awareness become central—notice the individuality potentially beginning a long transformative cycle.

So that’s the first thing that we’re seeing.

The human design people are saying it. It must be true. The human design—they know what they’re talking about.

I know, right?

Do you know your human design? I’m forgetting—what’s yours?

I’m a manifesting generator.

Okay. I’m forgetting what mine is right now, so I need to look at it. We’ll have to talk about it. I’ve done it, yes. I only know so much about it, but you should bring a human design person on.

I should. That would be really cool. I should.

That would be really cool.

Yeah. I used to know what mine was, but now I’m… yeah. We’ll figure it out.

Yeah.

The next one is the prophecy of human design from Ra Uru Hu. So the founder of human design, Ra Uru Hu, allegedly received information—it was like a download—that 2027 was the pivotal year when a new human mutation, or evolutionary stage, begins.

So our DNA will literally change as a collective.

Okay.

And he says it corresponds with emotional intelligence and societal structures. So it’s good.

A lot of people are predicting that we’re going to move into a matriarchal society.

Where? Female president, female Dalai Lama… you know?

I would love that.

Yes. Can you imagine if we lived in a woman-run society? The world would be a lot better, but also a lot more petty.

Well, you know what? Like the Virgos—we need that high standard. We need that. Yeah. Because what’s going on right now…

No, there wouldn’t be violence between countries. There would just be countries not talking to each other.

Literally.

Which honestly—please, please, please.

It’s good to have boundaries. It’s good to have boundaries.

Like, if just us and China both did our own thing and didn’t talk to each other? So much better.

Okay. So much better.

So these are two different forms: the solar plexus mutation, and then the year that the human evolutionary stage begins with another mutation. So these are two different human design prophecies.

Then there’s what’s known as the Dragonfly’s Dream. Have you ever heard of the Gene Keys?

No.

So the Gene Keys is a combination of human design, astrology, and I believe the I Ching.

Okay.

So basically the Gene Keys are related to these interpretations. 2027 is seen as the time when humanity begins to metamorphose—akin to a dragonfly emerging from its former form—symbolizing a profound transformation of consciousness and life purpose, sometimes connected to the idea of the Homo Sanctus.

Okay.

So it’s the idea that we are being reborn: the shift from the third dimension to the fifth dimension.

I’m so excited for that.

So again—2027—all of this stuff is coming out about it. And is it like when the clock strikes midnight? I actually don’t know.

Okay. I’m going to need to look into that.

Maybe Chinese New Year.

Yeah, maybe Chinese New Year. They always know what’s up.

Yeah, they do. The Lunar New Year. They always know.

Do you know who Bashar is?

No.

So he’s this guy—well, it’s the guy himself who channels the spirit Bashar. His name is Darryl Anka. You can find videos of him online.

He closes his eyes, he makes this hand gesture, and he’s channeling when people ask him questions.

Yes.

So he’s a super famous channeler. You can find him online. He’s been going since like the 1990s.

But he channeled that—let’s see—some followers of the Bashar channeling tradition reference 2027 as a focal point for positive contact or an energetic threshold, including the idea of increased interaction with multidimensional intelligences or extraterrestrial life.

So some people are predicting that 2027 is when we get in contact with aliens.

Aliens.

Do you believe in aliens?

Yeah. There has to be life out there.

I know, right? There has to be. I realize how narcissistic it is of humans to think it’s only us.

I know, right?

No. So it says these claims circulate the discussion of being able to, first of all, receive energetic channeling—but second of all, getting it from aliens.

Aliens.

Aliens? Like the guy from the History Channel?

Aliens.

But I also—I don’t think, with that said, I don’t think aliens are necessarily all bad.

No, I think they want to come and make peace with us.

Why is there this assumption in all the movies that the aliens are—man, no.

Right? The aliens may just be like, “What the fuck? There’s another one? There’s another planet?”

I think they’re looking down at Earth like… these bitches. Like, they’re fucking it up so much.

Yeah, yeah. They’re fucking it up so much—watching us—and like, at what point is enough going to be enough, humanity? Are you going to revolt against the crazy things happening?

Yeah, yeah.

You know, there’s that old prime minister from Canada who said— I’m forgetting his name—but once he stepped down, he was like, “By the way, tons of aliens in the government.”

Yes, I remember that. He was like, “By the way… they’re here.”

Well, and Aquarius is the sign of aliens. We’re in the eclipse cycle.

It is.

Wow.

We’re in the eclipse cycle of Aquarius over the next 18 months. It’s all checking out way too much.

So it’s like bam, bam, bam: matriarchy, human DNA shifting, aliens.

Aliens.

Okay. This is really exciting. It’s like a combination of E.T. and WALL-E.

What if it all happens at the same time too? It’s like: female president, aliens, DNA shift.

Well, I think there’s a lot of people that would be like, “Of course this happened with a woman leader.”

Period.

Of course this happened with a woman leader.

Would you ever run for office?

Me?

Yes.

I don’t think I’m allowed to because of my brain injury, but I feel like—

Is that for real?

I don’t know. I might have just made that up. But I feel like they don’t let people who aren’t 35 run for office.

Well… I think they let you. Just an idea.

Given that you have so many Aries placements in your chart, you do have a bit of a matriarchal energy.

Okay.

Saturn represents what you become as you age. So the Saturn return will whip you into shape as you go. But as you continue to age, you’re going to take on the qualities of that thing.

Okay.

Aries is the Emperor in the tarot deck—to be a world leader.

So: to be a matriarch.

To be a matriarch.

Now, whether that’s politically or just within your own family, you have the energy of holding the matriarchal access within your chart. You’re actually meant to be leading.

Okay. So…

That is the best thing I’ve heard—that I’m meant to be leading. Thank you so much. Thank you. Doing this podcast—thank you so much.

Yes. Thank you.

Of course. You’re meant to lead because it’s out of your soul’s comfort zone.

Past South Node in Pisces—with Venus right on the South Node. Venus is being the partner, the assistant, the wife—helping other people win their battles. And when it’s in Pisces, it’s for love.

North Node in Virgo—check Virgo’s ruling planet—it’s in your chart: Aries.

To do it for yourself.

To do it for myself. To be the leader.

And then not just for yourself—setting an example.

Setting an example.

So we think about somebody like Rosa Parks. Her North Node in her birth chart is Aries. So by advocating for herself—asking not to move to the back of the bus because she was a woman of color—it sparked an entire movement within the civil rights movement.

She didn’t want to move to the back of the bus, even though people of color during the 1960s were forced to.

And she said, “I don’t want to. My feet hurt.”

That’s called authenticity. That’s an Aries way of being.

So you’re meant to incorporate this teaching—to advocate for yourself, to be authentic about how you feel—because it literally will make the world better the same way Rosa Parks did.

All right, Rosa. Me and you, girl.

Yes—period. We ride in that bus.

I love that.

But I’ll sit in the back. You can stay up there.

Hey—you know what? It’s all good. It’s all good.

Cool kids sit at the back of the bus.

Amen. I mean, when I was a kid, we always sat in the back. That’s what the cool kids—

So there are some other things here too—like spirituality and the symbolic numerology behind it. 2027 itself is sometimes interpreted as a year of awakening, higher wisdom, or spiritual alignment.

So there are just so many things backing this claim up, and it’s like the symbolic beacon encouraging us to trust that what’s coming is going to be better than what’s led us here—because it’s been a rough eight years, or longer.

Yeah. No—yeah. I’m thinking back on my last eight years, and especially the last almost four and a half.

Yeah. Oh—but then COVID was before that.

Oh my God, yes.

So yeah, yeah. It’s been…

I always say I’m excited for my 30s. Like, some people are scared—no. I’m like, my 20s were fucking COVID and being hit by a car. Oh my God. Bring on the 30s.

Well, and with Saturn return now, it’s like: do the thing. Go be yourself.

Yes. Exactly. Being forced.

So please—the next eight years—please, please, please.

Okay, the last thing I have is in Chinese divination. Some frameworks—like plum blossom divination—they interpret that extending into 2027 speaks metaphorically of a reset of soul contracts.

So like all of our karmic contracts with people that we love that have gone south—they reset. Like we start over.

And then structural perceptions rather than a physical cataclysm. So this frames a year with a transformational pivot in worldview and personal spiritual evolution.

So as above, so below: our soul contracts reset and we move out of literal thinking and into more love-based thinking.

So that’s what 2027 has for us.

I’m really excited. I’m curious to see—is it aliens, the patriarchy, the DNA, the soul contract? Like, what is it?

Regardless, I’m here for all of it.

We’ll have to record another episode.

Yes—we’ll definitely have to.

The world’s burning around us.

Yes. We have two heads. We’re like, “Hey. Hey, guys.”

What was that one TikTok song? “It’s you that I lie with… as the atom bomb…”

Right, right?

Yes—literally that song in the background.

Hey guys—update. Live from Gabriella Rebranded. We’re here in 2027 and an asteroid crashes through the ceiling.

Okay.

Oh my God.

But that’s everything that I got for you.

Oh my God—this has been a very exciting episode.

Well, thank you.

You’re welcome. I was so excited when you emailed me to break down the Year of the Horse. I wanted to just give a little something-something, you know?

Good.

And just so everyone can hear more of this, tell everyone where they can find you, even though we’ve already said it.

Of course. So you can find me at santoscrystalvisions.com, or on Instagram and TikTok @santoscrystalvisions. Or you can email me if you want to get a private reading at santosastrology@gmail.com

And my name is Danny Santos. I’m an astrologer, spiritual life coach, trained ayahuasca shaman, psychic medium, and a bunch of other things.

And y’all— it’s unreal what this man has put out there and what he’s picked up on. So—do it. Do it.

I love you, Gabriella.

I love you, Danny. Thank you so much. This has been amazing.

This has been Gabriella Rebranded. You guys know the drill: TikTok, Instagram, Facebook—@GabriellaRebranded. Sign up for my newsletter, gabriellarebranded.com.

This has been so amazing. I can’t wait to have you back the next time anything astrologically happens—next eclipse, or when the patriarchy falls.

Also: always down to do a psychic reading. We should do a mediumship reading next time.

I would love that.

We’ll do it on air.

I would love that. That would be amazing. We’ll plan for it.

Okay, fantastic.

Okay. I’m glad that we’re not doing it during Mercury retrograde, though.

Yes. No. But then let’s do it, because I want that.

I wanted to just come back. We’ll do it.

Okay.

I just recorded with Broke Girl Therapy. Are you familiar with that?

Okay, yes, yes, yes.

So we just did a mediumship for Rose Michales, who is the co-host. So it was a good episode. It comes out March 3rd, I believe.

Okay—so then when Mercury retrograde is over, we’re setting that up.

Yes. I’ll send you the video, and then we can set up a time to do the mediumship.

Okay—amazing. Thank you so much. That’s going to be so exciting.

All right, guys—that’s going to be really great. So subscribe, like, and review so you can know when that happens.

Win most, lose some.

This was amazing. Thank you so much, Danny.

Thank you.
